+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|ob-|orior|t2=to rise]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan traces [[m|la|orior]] to [[itc-pro|*or-i-|t=to rise]] and [[ine-pro|*h₃r-i-|t=to rise]], comparing Umbrian [[m|xum|ortom est|t=has arisen]] and [[hit|arai-|t=to rise, lift]].^(de Vaan 2008) Paul the Deacon's Festus explains it as “is born”, saying that ob stands here for ad.^(Lewis & Short 1879)
